A Day in the Life of ...

Charlie

Drink chocolate milk. Ask for candy and juice on a regular basis. Get extremely upset when being refused.

Tell Mommy "no!" when she says to do anything - eat breakfast, brush teeth, change clothes, stop hitting Ellie, eat lunch, take a nap, etc.

Play: Build a house out of the couch cushions. Build train tracks and make the trains crash. Play pretend.

Take away any toys that Ellie looks at with even the mildest interest. Tell her to stop crying in the same tone of voice Mommy uses when she's mad.



Get into mischief when Mommy's not looking. Or, if she is looking, go up to Mommy to give her a big hug because you know you're in trouble. Make it something that usually covers a surface area like marker, powder, crumbs, or liquid.

Be the cutest and sweetest little boy.

Say funny things.



Ellie

Nurse and eat.

Look adorable. Smile and laugh.

Talk and smile when Mommy tries to interpret what you're saying, even if she's wrong.

Giggle and bounce and wave your arms when you know Mommy or Daddy will pick you up.

Army crawl around the sunroom to find interesting things to eat and play with. Get stuck in small corners.

Scream at the top of your lungs when being laid down to sleep. Decide to wake up at odd intervals at night.

Kids definitely make life interesting, don't they! Even with all the craziness, I wouldn't change a thing!
